Before you pour away that leftover potato broth, think twice! It can be the secret ingredient to making irresistibly fluffy and non-greasy donuts. Unlike traditional recipes, these donuts turn out lighter, crispier, and less oily while still being incredibly delicious.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
3 large potatoes
125 ml potato broth (reserved from boiling the potatoes)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dry yeast
1 egg
550 g flour
1 tbsp sunflower oil
A pinch of salt
(Optional: A dash of nutmeg for extra flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Boil the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks.
Cook them in water until they become tender.
Once done, strain the broth into a separate bowl and mash the potatoes while they are still warm.
Prepare the Dough
Allow the broth and mashed potatoes to cool slightly for about 15-20 minutes.
Add the egg and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes (you can also mix in nutmeg for extra flavor).
In the reserved broth, dissolve the yeast, sugar, and salt. Let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture while stirring.
Add the sunflower oil and knead the dough until it forms a soft, slightly sticky consistency. It should be thick but spreadable.
Let the Dough Rise
Cover the dough with a warm towel and place it in a warm spot for about an hour.
Once it has risen, knead it again and transfer it onto a greased surface. Let it rest for another 15 minutes.
Shape and Fry the Donuts
Form small donut shapes from the dough.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the donuts until they turn golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm and enjoy the soft, airy texture of these delightful donuts. They’re not heavy, don’t absorb excess oil, and taste absolutely amazing!
